🚀🚀 Fast Instagram Post Scraper 🚀🚀

Welcome to the Fast Instagram Post Scraper! This Apify actor is designed to quickly and efficiently scrape Instagram posts based on specific criteria. Whether you're looking to gather data for research, analytics, or any other purpose, this scraper will help you extract detailed information from Instagram posts with ease.

Alternative version

If you need a version with richer post-level analytics while keeping the same public-profile, no-login scraping flow, try Instagram Profile Posts Scraper.

It is a reimplementation of this Actor that focuses on more normalized output and additional fields such as view_count and play_count.

FAQ

1) Why is the Dataset empty / much smaller than expected?

The profile has no public posts, not enough posts, or Instagram is limiting access.

2) What does Restricted profile mean?

A profile can be public but still limited for anonymous (no-login) access. Instagram may gate some profile endpoints unless a logged-in session is used. When this happens, the Actor logs the restriction and skips/stops that profile.

3) How does billing work for unavailable profiles?

The Actor uses one unified charge event: restricted_profile. This event is emitted when a profile cannot return posts due to:

• restricted/no-login access limits,
• profile not found (dead link / non-existent profile),
• no posts found for that profile.
